I noticed that many of you reccomend witch hazel as a natural frugal astringent. I was wondering if it was diluted before application or does anyone have any other reccomendations as to what can be added to it? thanx
I used neat witch hazel as a cleansing astringent until I was about 24 (I’m female); since then, I dilute it under the tap by about half for a splash-on toner instead.
Since Witch Hazel is mild, I have used it for dabbing on mosquitoe bites, and cleaning my dogs ears. My vet tends to be “holistic” and even approved of it (Q-tips are still a no-no).
